A complete disaster. Before you start reading it, burn it . . .

The more or less definitive books are Programming with Quartz by David Gelphman
and Bunny Laden, and
Quartz 2D Graphics by Scott Thompson.
Since those two books were published, Core Animation has also emerged for both
desktop and mobile.
A reasonable book is
Core Animation: Simplified Animation Techniques for Mac and iPhone Development,
Rough Cuts By Marcus Zarra, Matt Long
